Was Paul of the temptations gay?

Oh, dude, like, Paul from the temptations? I mean, we can't really know for sure about someone's sexuality from way back when, you know? It's not like they had Instagram back then to update their relationship status. But hey, if Paul was gay, more power to him! Love is love, man.


Was paul Williams ot the temptations gay?

As a long time Temptations fan, since childhood,I can only assume that this question is being posed by " latter day Temptations fans" who base all of their so-called knowledge of the group on the TV movie. Although the movie portrays the friendship between Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks with a highly emotional type of loyalty, it was more of the actors and directors interpretation in the movie. The movie used a lot of creative license in its character and factual depictions. Paul and Eddie were, nonetheless, loyal friends since childhood, who both came north from Birmingham, Alabama in pursuit of their musical destiny. Where is this question coming from? If people actually took the time to read Otis Williams book, or any other Motown biographies, then they would be more informed before asking certain questions about the Temptations. From Paul Williams struggle with alcoholism, to bashing Otis Williams to crediting Eddie's early songs to Elkridge Bryant, many have made assumptions about the Temps' history. I'm not here to judge but so many people have argued and debated over various group topics without knowing the true facts. Many don't know that Paul's real reason for leaving the group was due to sickle cell anemia, which caused him extreme physical pain, and fatigue, which he would combat with alcohol. He, ultimately, left the group on doctor's orders in 1971, but remained on the payroll as choreographer and consultant. While a member of the Temptations, Paul Williams was married with five children. He also had a sixth child out of wedlock. At the time of his death, he was also involved with a mistress, the cousin of Supremes singer, Florence Ballard, who had been having an affair with for several years. Their relationship caused a strain on his marriage, and Paul was torn between his wife and his mistress. The night of Paul's death, he reportedly left his mistress' home after a heated argument and was found dead a short while later of an alleged self-inflicted gunshot wound. Forensic evidence points to foul play but no police investigation was ever conducted. Paul was said to have a weakness for beautiful women. Eddie Kendricks was also married with children in the late '60s, while with the group, but the movie never makes mention of this fact. Both guys also had their share of romantic involvement with female artists at Motown, namely Supremes members, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Flo Ballard at different times. All one has to do is research the wealth of Motown artist bios.. Check it Out! Ciao!!!


What were the 3 temptations in the desert for Jesus?

A:The three temptations in the wilderness are not in Mark's Gospel, but came into the Gospels of Matthew and Luke from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Although using the same source document, the two authors recorded two of the temptations in different sequences. Matthew's Gospel says that the devil first tried to tempt Jesus to turn a stone into bread, then took Jesus up to the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem, and then to a high mountain in order to tempt him. Luke's Gospel says that the devil tried to tempt Jesus to turn a stone into bread, then took Jesus up to a high mountain in order to tempt him, and then to the pinnacle of the Temple in Jerusalem.
